youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.
youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. this often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. nobody grows old merely by a number of years. we grow old by deserting our ideals.
years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.
whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing appetite for what's next and the joy of the game of living. in the center of your heart and my heart, there is a wireless station; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, courage and power from man and from the infinite, so long as you are young.

  college students' idols
successful entrepreneurs have surpassed pop stars as college students' idols, a recent fudan university survey has found.
in the survey, which sampled 150 students from different grades and departments, 96 chose successful entrepreneurs as their idols, 91 added scientists and scholars to the list, while only some 75 opted for stars of stage and screen.
the results toppled the old perception that young college students are most impressed by the stars of shows.
fudan's students seemed not to be influenced too much by popular tv shows and new stars, despite the latest supergirl, shang wenjie having graduated from the university last year.
"it's normal for students to have traditional ideas about the qualities an idol should have. they think of idols as people who have made a great contribution to society. these kinds of ideas aren't easily changed by tv shows," said zhen zhiwei, a second-year post-graduate student who conducted the survey.
but students do have new standards for selecting idols. some students voted for ordinary people and even fictional characters, such as harry potter.
"it reveals the diversity of students' standards," zhen said. "under the influence of pop culture, some students now view fictional figures as their idols. they see the same qualities in those fictional figures as in other real people.
"we are also delighted to see that more and more students are concerned with the roles ordinary people play in society. wealth, social status and fame are not the only standards they use to select idols."
the survey also revealed that 57% college students do not want to be idols for others.
"the result can be regarded as a good illustration for why most of them choose successful entrepreneurs and scholars as their idols," said zhen. "they have high expectations for idols, so they believe that to be an idol means having to take on more responsibilities and pressure than other people, and they are not ready to take so much responsibility yet." on talking
silence is unnatural to man. he begins life with a cry and ends it in stillness. in the interval he does all he can to make a noise in the world, and there are few things of which he stands in more fear than of the absence of noise. even his conversation is in great measure a desperate attempt to prevent a dreadful silence. if he is introduced to a fellow mortal and a number of pauses occur in the conversation, he regards himself as a failure, a worthless person, and is full of envy of the emptiest headed chatterbox. he knows that ninety-nine percent of human conversation means no more than the buzzing of a fly, but he longs to join in the buzz and to prove that he is a man and not a wax-work figure. the object of conversation is not, for the most part, to communicate ideas: it is to keep up the buzzing sound. there are, it must be admitted, different qualities of buzz: there is even a buzz that is as exasperating as the continuous ping of a mosquito. but at a dinner-party one would rather be a mosquito than a mute. most buzzing, fortunately, is agreeable to the ear, and some of it is agreeable even to the mind. he would be a foolish man, however, who waited until he had a wise thought to take part in the buzzing with his neighbors. those who despise the weather as a conversational opening seem to me to be ignorant of the reason why human beings wish to talk. very few human beings join in a conversation in the hope of learning anything new. at the end of an evening during which they have said nothing at immense length, they justly plume themselves on their success as conversationalists   gettysburg address 在葛底斯堡的演说
gettysburg address
(delivered on the 19th day of november, 1863 cemetery hill, gettysburg, pennsylvania )
fourscore and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to theproposition that all men are created equal. now, we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation soconceived and so dedicated, can long endure. we are met on a great battlefield of that war. we have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting-place for those who gave their lives that nation might live. it is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
but, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. the brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our power to add or detract. the world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. it is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated to the great task remaining before us; that from these honored dead, we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion; that this nation, under god, shall have a new birth of freedom; and that government of the people by the people and for the people shall not perish from the earth."

a lifetime friendship
thomas jefferson and james madison met in 1776.could it have been any other year? they worked together starting then to further american revolution and later to shape the new scheme of government. from the work sprang a friendship perhaps incomparable in intimacy and the trustfulness of collaboration and induration. it lasted 50 years. it included pleasure and utility but over and above them, there were shared purpose, a common end and an enduring goodness on both sides. four and a half months before he died, when he was ailing, debt-ridden, and worried about his impoverished family, jefferson wrote to his longtime friend. his words and madison's reply remind us that friends are friends until death. they also remind us that sometimes a friendship has a bearing on things larger than the friendship itself, for has there ever been a friendship of greater public consequence than this one?
"the friendship which has subsisted between us now half a century, the harmony of our po1itical principles and pursuits have been sources of constant happiness to me through that long period. it's also been a great solace to me to believe that you're engaged in vindicating to posterity the course that we've pursued for preserving to them, in all their purity, their blessings of self-government, which we had assisted in acquiring for them. if ever the earth has beheld a system of administration conducted with a single and steadfast eye to the general interest and happiness of those committed to it, one which, protected by truth, can never known reproach, it is that to which our lives have been devoted. to myself you have been a pillar of support throughout life. take care of me when dead and be assured that i should leave with you my last affections."
a week later madison replied-
"you cannot look back to the long period of our private friendship and political harmony with more affecting recollections than i do. if they are a source of pleasure to you, what aren’t they not to be to me? we cannot be deprived of the happy consciousness of the pure devotion to the public good with which we discharge the trust committed to us and i indulge a confidence that sufficient evidence will find in its way to another generation to ensure, after we are gone, whatever of justice may be withheld whilst we are here. "  
 

请问你是谁呀？你是这里网友们的领导？这里网友们的老板？这里网友们的工资都是由你来发放的吗？ 回答当然是否定的。 既然你不是领导，和这里的网友也不是上下级的隶属关系，请问你有什么权利要求这里的网友给你写作10篇作文呢？你又有什么权利和资格像老板要求自己的伙计那样要求别人为你如何如何呢？ 人都是有自知之明的，应该知道自己的身份，你连一句最起码的礼貌的语言都没有，别人凭什么给你写十篇作文呢？

每当我碰到困难，准备放弃的时候，妈妈常常用“世上无难事，只怕有心人。”这句话鼓励我，支持我。 　　确实，很多话，平常都挂嘴边，还常拿它去劝导别人，但是自己从来不把它当一回事，只有自己真正经历过会，才能体会到它的真谛。 　　记得二年级时，我刚刚转到现在就读的学校。那时，令我最最担心的就数英语了。因为两所学校采用的英语课本不是一个版本，况且以前的课本太简单了。尽管还要在暑假以后才需要面临这一切，但当妈妈帮我办理完转学手续那一刻起，英语就成了我的心病，让我寝食难安。 　　妈妈看出了我的心思，给我鼓励：“可以看得出，我们莹莹是个要强的孩子，妈妈相信你会和以前一样做得出色。”听了这番话，我眼前一亮，心里豁然开朗起来，我下定决心，要把新学校一年级的课本补上，跟上大家的步伐。 　　从那以后，我每天白天都跟着录音机反反复复地读英语，晚上，妈妈还充当老师的角色，给我讲词组句型。但是，好景不长。每当看到小伙伴们外出游玩，开心地回来时，我心里便会充满羡慕，再加上英语的枯燥，难度的增加，我读书的热情开始减退，进度慢了下来。这时，妈妈对我说了一句发人深省的话：“世上无难事，只怕有心人。”“学习贵在坚持。”我听完妈妈的话，鼓起勇气，重新振作起来，最终把这个计划坚持了下去。 　　在妈妈的鼓励与支持下，我补完了所有的课本，暑假也在不知不觉中结束了。新学期，我满怀信心地走进了新学校…… 　　“世上无难事，只怕有心人。”今天，我克服了一个困难。将来，我还会战胜一个又一个困难。 来源查字典作文网
